changes to “ABB: OK".

black balance.
NOTES
•The camera is automatically shielded from the light while the black balance is being adjusted.
•When the iris is being adjusted manually, return the iris (but only with a lens which is recommended by Panasonic) to a place
near its original position after having adjusted the black balance. Start shooting only after the iris has been set to the appropriate
value.
•When the AUTO W/B BAL switch is pressed lo the ABB position, the gain selection circuit is switched automatically, and
flickering appears several times on the screen inside the viewfinder. This is normal and not indicative of a failure.
REFERENCE

When the camera recorder is to be used for the first time
When the difference in the temperature has changed greatly
•In the interest of maintaining a high picture quality, it is recommended that the AUTO W/B BAL switch be set to the ABB position
immediately before shooting important or memorable scenes.
